Verity works in the charity sector campaigning for human rights and humanitarian relief around the world. She speaks French and is learning Spanish to be able to better support our growing Spanish-speaking Latin American community in Clapham Park. Verity is passionate about housing, access to nature and facilities for young people. She led the campaign to get the pitch in Agnes Riley Gardens reopened and can often be found helping out in the nature pond. As a local Clapham resident, she wants to champion residents’ voices in the regeneration project and bring better facilities to our area. She’ll campaign for better transport connections, new shops and cafés, welcoming green spaces and opportunities for young people.
